if his dithering about a week before he's due to move in he could well be a pain in the jacksee once in ,
if he went to the main land on a course Id imagine him to say , well I dont have to pay the full amount for those three days as I wasnt here
still what do I know ,
cause Im also thinking you should say something like
"I need a 100% answer by XX as if you dont want it I will put an advert in XXX to get someone, I can be messed about any longer."
so whats he going to do if he doesnt move in with you ? can he stay where he is ?

I was thinking possibly not slap the lodger as the other lodger girl hasnt really done anything to offend me.
But I guess I could try - how about slap the house guests instead?
